Maintenance. Lots and lots of maintenance. I basically gutted my system in anticipation of a couple of key upgrades. Namely, a new CPU and a larger radiator.

I also plan on doing some solder work on my 2060 Super. My goal is to replace that weird pigtail connector with one of these:

There are some currently unused, "vestigial" through holes on the PCB that I believe I can solder this connector to. I've already done some testing with a multimeter, and everything looks good so far. And oddly enough, my water block already has a cutout for a connector in that exact area.

TPU isn't the nicest place. You just ignore some of its nonsense over time.Don't you feel dirty having a ADL setup. I always feel they get a certain amount of derision on TPU now it seems to me to be a bit AMD biased.

You can fit 280mm rad on top? You could get an Arctic liquid freezer II 280. Good performer but damn ugly CPU block.Welp, got the CPU cooler on, but the M.2 still wont fit lol.. guess either a new platform or water cooling will be the only way to use it lol. Dammit.
View attachment 251321
Not sure how it performs yet, but it is smaller, and lighter than FC140, so no high hopes there.. on a positive note, the black cooler fans are pretty nice to the touch and have some beef to them. Quality goods right there. Oh I also put the little M.2 cooler on, it’s a little classier looking imo.

Performance was excellent when it was there. But once it started to taper off it was really no better than a heatsink. I was using 120x38s the entire time. Sometimes in push/pull.
Also, a lot of people say their AIO is better than their air coolers that did not get the same fresh air that their AIO gets.
Also, from what I have seen is that a lot of peoples temps with their AIO suck compared to mine. I don’t idle in the 40s or 50s, more like the 20s and low 30s.
